A bunch of legit bad beats, but you also played some hands very badly IMO. I'll point out both small and big mistakes that I've seen. All hands in order:
AAKQs - Pot the flop since stacks are < pot size (small mistake)
KJ98r - Horrible. Playing the hand at all is a mistake, 3-betting it OOP is awful.
AKJ2ds - WP
KJT5s - Fold preflop UTG. Don't call flop unless you think you can bluff him on the turn, which you can't.
KQJTs - WP
AKKTs - Horrible. Bet the flop or check/raise.
AAK9s - WP
AKQTs - You overplayed your hand. Two-pair is not a monster on the flop in PLO. Call flop and get it in on brick turns, or fold to the raise if opponent is tight.
KKJ4s - Your river call would be horrible if you had more money, now it's not a big mistake. But you know you're beat.
J933ds - Mjeh. You got one-outered but he's either going to have JJ or 22 there so whatever.
So two horribly played hands, three well played and and five that could have been played better. You can't change the way the cards are dealt, but you can improve how you play them.
